Later on, Quality Assurance (QA) was integrated into the process. DevOps is a step further, streamlining agile practices through the build, validation, deploy and delivery stages of the pipeline. One of the characteristics of DevOps is cross-functional teams. This ensures the full accountability of the software process from design until production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automation is a key part of DevOps, without which the system can\u2019t work. Automation streamlines routine tasks that are often done manually. This enables teams to improve efficiency, security and minimizing human errors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Benefits_DevOps_Brings_to_the_Table\"><\/span>The Benefits DevOps Brings to the Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a non-DevOps environment, such as waterfall development, the development process would start with the developers writing the code for the application. Next, a separate QA team tests the code to check if it meets quality requirements. If it does, the QA team releases the code into operations to deploy. Waterfall development is an approach that involves working in stages. In this approach, every stage depends on the outputs of the previous one. There are several challenges issuing from this kind of siloed approach:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Lack of communication between departments<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014this can cause one team to be unaware of bottlenecks that occur in other teams. This can prevent the software from working as it is supposed to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Opposing goals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014for example, the development team\u2019s goal is to speed up delivery, while QA might need to delay the process to ensure the code meets quality standards. This can lead to inefficiency and delays.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DevOps addresses these challenges by building cross-team collaboration and automating processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>DevOps practices<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-73712 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Continuous_Delivery_process_diagram.png\" alt=\"DevOps practices\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Continuous_Delivery_process_diagram.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Continuous_Delivery_process_diagram-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Continuous_Delivery_process_diagram-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Continuous_Delivery_process_diagram-840x420.png 840w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Continuous_Delivery_process_diagram-640x320.png 640w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Continuous_Delivery_process_diagram-681x341.png 681w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A critical part of the DevOps pipeline is continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD) and continuous deployment (CD) practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Continuous integration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014this practice requires developers to commit the code they create into a central source code repository several times a day.

Thankfully, the open-source nature of Kubernetes is driving the development of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/platform9.com\/managed-kubernetes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">managed Kubernetes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> solutions that ease the adoption of the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Kubernetes structure: Cluster, containers, and pods<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The smallest unit of computing hardware in Kubernetes is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hackernoon.com\/kubernetes-in-10-minutes-a-complete-guide-to-look-for-ad0be0f8a9b8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">node<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, representing a single machine in the cluster. It can be a physical or virtual machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cluster is a group of nodes that share resources. You can use clusters to scale up and increase computing power. The cluster receives the workload, which Kubernetes then distributes into the individual nodes. When you add or remove nodes, the cluster shifts around the work as needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Containers are self-contained Linux execution environments. They consist of all the components a program or process needs to run. You can create containers through programming code. This supports the application of DevOps processes, such as continuous integration pipelines. Containers often contain one process per unit to ensure easier updates and diagnosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pod is a structure containing one or more containers, which share the same resources and local network. Kubernetes uses the pods as the unit of replication. The platform replicates the pods to allow load balancing and build failure resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kubernetes_features\"><\/span>Kubernetes features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubernetes is mostly used in large-scale organizations to perform critical tasks. Some of the Kubernetes features include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Automating manual processes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014Kubernetes controls where the container is stored, and schedules container launches.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Self-healing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014the platform constantly monitors the health of nodes, containers, and pods. If a pod or container crashes, Kubernetes replaces it by creating a new pod or container.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Horizontal scaling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014Kubernetes allows teams to easily scale-out applications by adding more containers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Storage orchestration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014since it works with all major cloud providers, Kubernetes integrates easily with your chosen storage system. The platform can automatically add storage according to your application needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Automated rollout and rollback<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014Kubernetes monitoring feature helps you to progressively rollout applications. This ensures that if anything goes wrong, Kubernetes can roll the application back with ease.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Run everywhere<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014Kubernetes is open-source. This characteristic helps you avoid vendor-lock in. It supports and can be run on-premises, or in hybrid or public cloud infrastructures.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Factors_that_Make_Kubernetes_a_Perfect_Fit_for_DevOps\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 Factors that Make Kubernetes a Perfect Fit for DevOps<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubernetes helps DevOps teams by automating processes, thus minimizing the workload. For instance, you can schedule and deploy a number of containers onto a node, letting Kubernetes manage those workloads. Opting for Kubernetes can simplify the build\/test\/deploy pipelines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the factors that make Kubernetes a perfect match for DevOps are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. Infrastructure as code<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubernetes transforms the entire infrastructure into code. For example, Kubernetes takes the code from a version-control repository, automatically deploying and maintaining the infrastructure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Configuration as code<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubernetes enables administrators to configure as code, by keeping the file in the source repository. Administrators can then describe where they want the file to go to, as well as control its versions. If you&#8217;re aspiring to become a Certified Kubernetes Administrator, check out our expert guide on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/certified-kubernetes-administrator-exam-preparation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Certified Kubernetes Administrator<\/a> exam preparation.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. Immutable infrastructure<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one of the characteristics of Kubernetes is that new containers are immutable. New containers are often created to replace an unhealthy one, fixing a problem with the original state. The immutability of the new containers lets you have a clear picture of the new state. .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. Hybrid-friendly<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubernetes enables developers to create hybrid services by combining services from the platform\u2019s self-service catalog. Kubernetes follows open-service standards, enabling developers to expose cloud services on the Internet securely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. Build once, deploy everywhere<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is, perhaps, the key advantage of running Kubernetes for a DevOps environment. Kubernetes enables teams to build a container image and use it everywhere you want to deploy your container. This ensures a consistent production environment. The container is exactly the same wherever it is deployed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">6. No downtime deployments<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DevOps environments typically perform several deployments a day. That means that stopping production to deploy is not practical. You can set up a new environment and switch to it, achieving rolling updates without disrupting production.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrap_Up\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap Up<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running Kubernetes in a DevOps environment gives developers the tools to keep development agile. Container technology helps developers achieve end-to-end automation, ensuring continuous delivery.
